About this Item

Hardcover, viii + 223 pages, NOT ex-library. Fine internally, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Cosmetic damage to boards: a tear on the rear edge of mid-spine (covered with sticky tape). Issued without a dust jacket. -- An analysis of the relationship between cellular nutrient utilization and cancer development. This volume explores how cancer cells alter their metabolism to support rapid growth and survival, examining key pathways and mechanisms involved in nutrient uptake and processing. Through comprehensive reviews and cutting-edge research, the authors discuss the implications of metabolic reprogramming in cancer therapy and potential strategies for targeting these processes to improve treatment outcomes. The book is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in the intersection of cell metabolism and oncology. -- Contents: Drugging Cancer Metabolism: Expectations vs. Reality; A Strategy for Poisoning Cancer Cell Metabolism: Inhibition of Oxidative Phosphorylation Coupled to Anaplerotic Saturation; Sulfur Metabolism and Its Contribution to Malignancy; Diet, Lipids and Colon Cancer; Autophagy and Cancer Cell Metabolism; Application of Metabolomics Technologies Toward Cancer Prognosis and Therapy.
